IS SIZE BIDING !?

Is she biding where eternal summer smiles
upon the sea,
And the snowy orange blossoms ever
flake the shelly strand
Is she biding is she Dding where the tender
tropic breeze
Tells the story of his wO0ings in the bill
lows on the sand?
Somewhere, somewhere, | know not whele,
Upon the land or sea-
Somewhere, somewhere, all pure and fair.
My love abideS for ne.
Is she bidng mid the clover blooms upon
the purple hills,
Where mellow bees are humming and
the apple blossoms tloat?
Is She biding, is she bding where the
brOokIet leaps and trills,
And does she bind the daisies in a posy
for her throat?
Somewhere, somewhere, know not where,
My love and shall meet,
For there's fate through foul and fair
That guides my WayWard feet.
Is she biding where the starlight CLEANS
upon the frozen gloom,
And family sings the carols that awake
the droWSy morn?
Is she biding, is she biding where the roses
never bloom,
And the poppies never wave their crimson
banner through the corn?
She bides somewhere, | know not where,
But surely this | know:
Twill always seem like summer there
IIoWc'er the wind may blow.

Why Farming Dom. Pay.
Ia Young Farmer.l

Because in spring the faint hearted
farmer thinks the season is to be un-
favorable and he will wait until fall
and apply his fertilizers to winter grain;
because he is too lazy to plant decent
garden, and keep the weeds down, and
when other farmers are living from
their garden he buys from the store,
and complains OF big store bills: be-
cause he lets the fences fall down and
his cattle get into his meadow just be-
fore haying; because instead Of harvest
ing what few crops he has, he and his
dog ere tramping over his neighbor's
fields in search Of game, pulling down
walls, opening gates and making them
selves a general nuisance; because he
never smooths off any of his land but
prefers to tell how he will do some
thing next year; because he lets his
stock stand out Of doors all day shiv-
ering in the wind; because instead of
getting a years stock OF wood he pre-
fers to sit in the store and tell great
stories of his younger DAYS; because he
pays from Sr2 to $50 a year for to-
bacco which he spits on the stove and
floor and then says times are so hard
his wife will have to go without tea;
because he doesen't get creamer bui
sets his milk over his bed in winter,
where it catches all the dist and bad
odors; in short beeanse of general
| shiftlessness.

The Wheat Harvest.
IStatesville Landmark I

The bulk of the wheat in this county
and section will have been taken of
by the time this week ends. The har-
vest commenced last week. 1t is now
at its height, All over this region can
be heard the sEs-w-i-s-h" of the cradle
as the grain falls before it, and one
can easily imagine the army of stall
wart sreapers who cover the State to
day, straw hats On their heads, hand
kerchiefs around their necks-together
with the other army of binders who
follow after them, boys and men,
gathering and tying the wheat as it
falls from the hands of the Graders and
tossing the bundles aside, ready for
the shock. The shade at the end Of
the field, how grateful it is the water,
how sweet; and the buttermilk at din
ner, how cool and palatable! The
hardest and yet one of the most joyous
seasons of the year is the harvest time,
when nature has yielded abundantlv;
when neighbors gather together to help
neighbors, when the joke goes round
and the farmers's hopes begin to lie
realized. Truly, they are being real
lied now. Rarely has such wheat
crop been produced in this section as
that which is now being harvested, and
it only remains for it to dry out and
be gotten under cover in good order.
And while the farmer has every reason
to congratulate himself upon his wheat,
he has additional cause OF JOY in con-
templating the prospects of all other
crops. One of the finest oat crops
ever seen, will be harvested in week
or two, and corn and cotton never
looked better at this season. Verify,
it seems as if Providence intends to
smile on us all again.

ualism by the philosophical writer John
Darby, generally understood to be Dr.
James +. Garretson, we'll known as d
surgical teacher and author. The
work is entitled " Nineteenth Century
Sense: The Paradox Of Spiritualism,"
and, considering Or. Garretson's learn
ing and ability, we doubt not it is a
very thorough and comprehensive dis
cussion of the subject which will awaken
considerable interest among thoughtful
persons. We understand that the au-
thor's method is quite Ingenious and
original, and that, aiming as he does
to reconcile the apparently unrecon-
Cilable, his conclusions will prove
worthy of the careful consideration of
both friends and opponents of the
doctrines of Spiritualism.

Cheerful Women.

In marrying, men should seek happy
women. They make terrible mis-
take when they marry for beauty, or
for talent or for style. The sweetest
wives are those who possess the magic
secret of being happy under any and
all circumstances. Rich or poor, high
Or low, it makes no difference, the
bright little fountain bubbles up just
as musically in their hearts. Nothing
ever goes wrong with them-no trou-
bic is too serious for them s.to make the
best Of it.. Was ever the stream of
calamity SO dark and deep that the
sunlight of happy face falling across
its turbid tides would not wake an an
swering CLEAN? Why, then, joyous
tempered people don't know half the
good they do. No matter how cross
and grabbed you feel, no matter if
your brain is full OF meditation on "af-
flicting dispensations, and your stom-
ach with medicines, pills, and tonics
Just set one of those CHEEKY little
women talking to you, and we are not
afraid to wager anything she can cure
you. The long drawn lines about the
mouth relax-the cloud OF settled
gloom will vanish; nobody knows
where, and the first thing you know
you will be laughing! All, what a
blessing are these happy women?
How often their little hands guide the
ponderous machine of life, with almost
an invisible touch! How we look
forward through the weary day to their
Ercside smiles! No one knows, no one
ever will know until the day of judg-
ment reveals, how much we owe to
these helpful, hopeful, accomplishing,
happy women.

n ature's Healing.

Minnie G. Ballard, in st. Louis Magazine
Hcine says: eve feel infinite hap
piness when the outer world blends
with the world of our own soul, and
green trees, thoughts, and the songs OF
birds, gentle melancholy, the blue
Of Heaven, memory, and the perfume
of flowers run together in sweet ara
besques." He also says that "Nature
resembles her people. In Italy she is
passionate like the people who live
there in Germany she is more solemn,
reflective and patient" Then again,
'.Nature around us acts upon man"
Bryant says: "To him who in the love
of nature holds communion with her
visible forms, she speaks a various
language, and he goes on to tell how
she enters into every mood, and ex-
presses sympathy, as it were, with
every thought. Longfellow says:
'.If thon art worn and hard beset
With s0rrOws that thou wOuldst forget,
If thou woultst read a lesson that will keep
Thy heart from fainting and thy soul from
sleep,
Go to the woods and hills"
So, if what these poets say IS true,
have we not ready panacea for every
mortal i'll? If one feels himself grow
ing unduly happy and joyous, if he
fears lie may be becoming frivolous
and trivial, he has only to HE to some
saddcnlng haunt Of nature to receive
the seriousness lacking to his soul.
Or he needs only to go to some grand
and impressive natural scene and
straightway he becomes imbued with
some of that grandeur and sublimlty
himself. He absorbs it by a process
as painless and perhaps unconscious,
as the flower absorbs the dew. Nor
need he wear seven-leagued boots in
order 10 prosecute his search. Often
the desired mount, or fount, may lie
very near his own door. Lowell tells
us of a prophet who, worn and foot
sore, sought the holy hill, expecting
there to receive a sign from God, and
the sign came in the form of an hum
bic violet, violet the very same as
one his own little daughter had plucked
for him from his own threshold, in
starting. If indeed his haven is dis
tant, all things conspire to make his
journey light. There are steamers on
the lakes, Pullman cars on the lands,
and good roads everywhere
+ If one is sad then he should take
different tonic from Dame Hygeia-
/ Nature. He should choose out some
sunny, shiny spot, and fill his soul, or
steep his sense in lights delicious
cheer. Or if he needs to be startled
out Of his sorrow let him visit Niagara
or the Yosemite. Surely even the
keenest grief must in some degree for
get itself here. Despair herself can
scarcely be callous TO the grandeur
round. Here

Robert Lincoln as a Candidate.

Ever since the defeat of Mr.. Blaine
in 1884 and even before the last ma
tiOnal convention the name of Robert
II. Lincoln has frequently been men,
tened as a candidate for the presi-
dency. Mr.. Lincoln, who report says
is making 100000 a year from his law
business in Chicago, was interviewed
the other day by reporter to whom
he said:
"You will do me kindness by print
ing as coming from me the statement
that Robert T. Lincoln does not want
to be written up in the newspapers.
He requests every editor to let him
alone, and would be glad if his name
never again appeared in the columns
of newspaper. A private citizen
should have some rights in this eOun-
try, and one of these is the right to be
let alone by the press. L am practic-
ing law, and doing nothing else and
thinking of nothing else. No thought
of public Office enters my mind"
Such talk as this coming as it does
from an honest man, will only serve
to increase Mr.. LincOln's popularity.
The people are tired of watching the
politicians at their games and would
gladly welcome an opportunity of vot-
ing for just such man. AS the most
available candidate which the republi-
can party can put in nomination Rob
ert t. Lincoln will continue to be
"written up by the newspapers" in
spite of himself, and the best part of
it is that nothing can be said against
him.

Restricting Immigration.


While our country has been the
asylum of the oppressed, it has be-
come the refuge of foreign paupers
and scOundrels, who are burden and
a menace. Several remedies have
been suggested, but the one which
would be most sure to be effective is
that which woald require n certificate
from every person landing as an i'm
migrant from our consuls at the ports
or places from which these persons
come, to the effect that they are self
supporting and are not criminals, So
cialists or anarchists. This would,
doubtless, curtail immigration very
largely, but at the same time it would
do much to protect US against the evils
which have resulted, and will result,
from the large and prOmiscuOus i'm
migration of the past few years.
